DC and WB Developing Jaime Reyes ‘Blue Beetle’ Latino Superhero Movie

justiceleague:

DC and Warner Bros. are developing their first Latino superhero movie about Jaime Reyes, aka the “Blue Beetle,” individuals with knowledge of the project exclusively tells TheWrap.

Mexican-born writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, who wrote Universal’s “Scarface,” has been tapped to write the screenplay. Dunnet-Alocer also wrote the upcoming “Miss Bala” remake for Sony.

Zev Foreman is executive producing for Warner Bros.

In the comics, Mexican-American teenager Jaime Reyes is the third character to assume the mantle of the Blue Beetle after Dan Garret and Ted Kord. 

Jaime Reyes discovered the Blue Beetle scarab on the way home from school with two of his best friends Paco and Brenda, half-buried in a disused lot. Reyes took the scarab home, curious as to what it might be. That night, the scarab came alive, and grafted itself to the base of Jaime’s spine, and provided him with a suit of extraterrestrial armor which can be modified to enhance his speed and strength, as well as to create weapons, wings and shields.

New York City Just Passed a Gender-Neutral Birth Certificate Law

profeminist:

[In October]New York became the first city in the nation to pass a law offering gender-neutral birth certificates. The new policy will go into effect on January 1, 2019, and calls for the creation of a third gender marker — X — in addition to the current options of M and F.

The new law also mandates that people be allowed to choose their gender marker when applying for amended birth certificates, replacing a previous requirement that applicants provide letters from medical and mental health practitioners confirming their gender identity.

“New Yorkers should be free to tell their government who they are, not the other way around,” New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio said in a press release. “This new legislation will empower all New Yorkers — especially our transgender and gender nonbinary residents — to have birth certificates that better reflect their identity, and it furthers the City’s commitment to defending the rights of our LGBTQ community.”

“For Downey, who trained long ago as a ballet dancer and still moves like one — arched spine, squared shoulders, feet planted but lightly planted, neck straight, chin raised — even thinking is a physical activity.”

Via. Rolling Stone.

I’m sorry trained as a WHAT NOW?

My love for him just grows and grows

If you’ve not seen RDJ in Chaplin, I really must recommend it. It really exhibits the best of his physicality. There’s a moment in it where he pulls a ballet move, which James Lipton would later nearly faint over in an interview with Robert Downey Jr. Apparently ballet really excites James Lipton. (The interview is Inside the Actors Studio if you’re at all interested.)
